    Abstract: Radiopaque polymers have a main chain and a plurality of amide groups which have bound to the amide nitrogen atom thereof an organohalide group that is pendant to the polymer main chain, the organo halide group including one or more iodine and/or bromine atoms thereon. The polymer may be a modified polyamide polymer, copolymer or block copolymer or a modified poly(meth)acrylamide or (meth)acrylamide copolymer or block copolymer. The polymers may be employed in medical devices and are useful for instance to track the movement of a catheter through the body or the inflation of a balloon at a site. The polymers may be made by coupling reactions performed on preexisting amide polymers.

  • Patent number: 8445627
    Abstract: The invention provides new aliphatic diester-di-acid-containing PEA polymer compositions with significant improvement in hydrolytic degradation rates as compared to aliphatic di-acid-containing PEA polymers. The di-acids used in the invention PEA compositions include non-toxic fatty aliphatic homologs. These molecules inherently contain two-ester groups, which easily can be cleaved by biotic (enzymatic) and abiotic hydrolysis. Additional di-acid-type compounds useful for active polycondensation are ?,?-alkylene dicarboxylates composed of short aliphatic non toxic diols and di-acids. In addition, the invention PEA polymer compositions optionally can include a second monomer, such as a C-protected L-lysine-based monomer, to introduce additional chain flexibility into the polymer. The invention PEA polymer compositions are useful for delivery of bioactive agents when administered internally.

  • Publication number: 20130102733
    Abstract: A method of preparing core-shell submicron spheres is disclosed. The method comprises steps hereafter. An emulsion containing a core monomer is heated to a temperature of 10° C. below its boiling point to the boiling point. A core forming step is performed by adding an initiator solution to the heated emulsion to form cores by polymerizing the core monomer. When the conversion of the above polymerization is 10% to 95%, a shell forming step is performed by adding a shell monomer into the emulsion, at a temperature of 50° C. below the emulsion's boiling point to the boiling point thereof, to form shells, respectively surrounding the cores, by polymerizing the shell monomer.
